Bramber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEFD| Before the downs in their great horse shoes rise | A |
| I know a village where the Adur runs | B |
| Blown by sweet winds and by beneficent suns | B |
| Visited and made ripe beneath kind skies | A |
| Light and delight are in the children's eyes | A |
| And there the mothers sit the fortunate ones | B |
| Blest in their daughters happy in their sons | B |
| And the old men are beautiful and wise | A |
| - | |
| There stand the downs great close tall friendly still | C |
| Linked up by grassy saddles hill on hill | C |
| And steep the village in unending peace | D |
| And to the north the plains in order lie | E |
| Heavy with crops and woods alternately | F |
| And lively with low sounds that never cease | D |
